Overview

Ridge started with one goal: help people live more and carry less. Known for its minimalist wallets, Ridge quickly expanded into a full ecosystem of EDC (everyday carry) products – pens, knives, key cases, and even tech accessories.

But as Ridge scaled globally, they hit a friction point.

Challenge

Checkout infrastructure changes forced Ridge to reassess their entire stack. Shopify was sunsetting Checkout Blocks, and their custom-built solutions didn’t mesh easily with new tools. With five Shopify instances to manage, the team needed modularity, flexibility, and a partner who could move fast.

Rebuy was on the table, but it couldn’t meet Ridge’s demands:

  • No modularity between cart, checkout, and post-purchase
  • Limited compatibility with custom builds
  • No white-glove setup support

"With five stores and a custom stack, we needed tools that didn’t force a full rebuild. Aftersell let us pick and choose exactly what we needed."

Michael De Lia, ex-Ecommerce Lead at Ridge

Solution

Aftersell offered a flexible, collaborative approach that felt tailor-made for Ridge:

  • Modular product offerings meant Ridge could buy only what they needed (checkout + post-purchase)
  • Aftersell replicated successful U.S. funnels across all international stores, cutting dev time
  • Hands-on support included building and QAing flows for every store instance

Just as importantly, Aftersell helped Ridge rethink strategy.

The initial goal was revenue. But after digging into data, Ridge saw that higher post-purchase conversion rates often aligned with higher customer satisfaction. They pivoted.

Affinity > Revenue.

One clear example? Offering mismatched water bottles flopped. Swapping them out for matching packing cubes when selling luggage sent conversion soaring.

Ridge didn’t just need a new upsell app. They needed a smarter system that respected their custom stack and international scale.

Aftersell empowered Ridge to:

  • Launch globally with localized funnel variants
  • Shift upsell strategy toward long-term customer value
  • Scale smarter, with zero code duplication
